With our lives operating at a fast speed, it's easy to miss
important events. But please don't miss this one. I think the 2nd
Annual Association Technology Conference is the best possible use of
our time. According to the ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership, " this conference is the only technology conference for the association community."

The three day conference that will be held on February 12-14, 2007
in Washington, DC brings together an excellent group of
thought-leaders, pioneers, and the next generation of users to discuss
major trends and technological innovations that will impact your
organization now and in the years ahead. It provides valuable
strategies and solutions that you can take back and put to use right
away. Here's what you'll find during these three days:

Microsoft 2007 update
The conference will kick off with a bonus session featuring Microsoft's
2007 new operating system (VISTA) and including everything from Office
to Sharepoint. Get a first hand glimpse at how these technologies can
help you better manage documents, organize your workload, and
collaborate with coworkers.

Hands-on experiences
Evaluate technology solutions from Microsoft and close to 100 vendor
exhibits including Blackbaud, Blackboard, Inc., GetActive Software,
RegOnline, Advanced Solutions International Inc, IRM Systems Inc. and
Research In Motion. Also, choose from more than 25 Learning Labs where
topics such as online strategies for associations, VOIP, best
practices for managing web site content, project management, and
strategies for effective webinars will be discussed.

Connections with the association community
Walking around the conference are senior staff association executives,
chief technology officers, IT specialists, association and nonprofit
CEOs and senior technology staff, small business owners and staff who
manage technology initiatives. Add to the mix Microsoft product team
members and industry experts and you immediately see why this
conference crowd is like no other.
